What a joke

Yeah, the rule of thirds will always guarantee you a "good photo." Puuulleaase the "dead center = bad composition" is a farce being foisted off by people who use formulas for composition instead of what works best for the subject.

Rules of composition were made up AFTER the fact by people trying to analyze a successful work of art. S-curves, rule of thirds, triangular compositions, etc. etc. sure, they may work with some subjects, but use of a compositional rule doesn't guarantee a good image.

Just put the subject into the frame where it's most comfortable and quit using "rules" - or, please show me a copy of the "Photo Composition Rule Book." I prefer the latest edition. Does it have an ISO number?
